Re: cutworms, grubs, Japanese beetles, June bugs

Square Foot Gardening List - http://www.flinet.com/~gallus/sqft.html

Cutworms are the larvae of moths, I think, and grubs are either June Bug or
Japanese beetle larvae, but insectivorous nematodes will get both of them if
you have an overabundance...

Try http://www.biconet.com/biocontrol/nemas.html

As an information source...and they'll sell ya some, if you want

Frank---microscopic grub eating worms....what'll they think of next?....:-)
